@ 23rd International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC 2019) October 9-11, 2019 Sinaia, ROMANIA

Keywords: service systems engineering, complex systems, complex service, digital technologies, artificial intelligence

Service, the law of interaction among the large number of society-level entities, grounded on data, supports the creation of value via information interactions fundamentally. A complex service is built upon several services, and its systems, including its digital system, are composed upon their systems. Therefore, the information is an important source of innovation, and the digital means enable to introduce new functionalities which were difficult or impossible to offer before. Technology, as an operant resource, leverage information sharing across service ecosystems at society level, enabling data-driven value co-creation as a service strategy.

This session is inviting original submissions addressing the entire development cycle of complex services and their service systems, enacting new types of knowledge exchange that would advance society in its complexity. Society is facing today critical situations for which its systems must be purposely reshaped. Complexity, a fundamental characteristic of the world we live in, must be understood against society needs and new tools for analyzing and describing it are required today.

Authors are encouraged as well to present developed practices, mechanisms, methods, toward increasing the engagement in teaching, learning, research and institutional activities to support digital skills formation in industry fostering new services and jobs creation. In this perspective, it concerns important properties of Service Science, which induce situations where knowledge, skills, activities and jobs can emerge to surmount challenges in identifying the growing share of increasingly complex services that characterize the digital economy.

PAPER SUBMISSION
http://icstcc2019.cs.upt.ro/authors/initial-papers-submissions/

Papers submitted to the special session on "Complex service modelling, composition, and engineering" will be reviewed in the same manner as the regular papers. Please use the invited session code "f76rx" in the online submission form.

ICSTCC 2019 is technically co-sponsored by IEEE Control Systems Society and the Proceedings will be submitted to IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
